What would be your exit music be?

With what promises to be an amazing evening of music Saturday night as Albany Symphony Orchestra and Albany Pro Musica team up for Verdi’s Requiem, our thoughts have turned to the inevitable end we all face and the kinds of questions it creates. No, not the super bigger about the afterlife, but what music will be played to say our farewell.

The movie The Big Chill captured that sense of joy-in-sadness during the funeral for the Kevin Costner character, when the organist started playing the Rolling Stones You Can’t Always Get What You Want.

I haven’t thought about what I would do for my own funeral, but was wondering if other people have thought about this and/or planned it.
